The Adelphi Theatre, originally the Cum-Bac Theatre, was once located at 1008 Dovercourt Rd (north of Hallam St on the west side) in the Dovercourt Park neighbourhood of Toronto.
The Cum-Bac opened in the 1920s and was renamed the Adelphi in the mid-1930s. The theatre closed its doors by 1957 and subsequently became the home of a Greek Orthodox church. The church congregation utilized the former theatre’s facilities for their services. Today, the building continues to serve as a place of worship, known as St. Ephrasinia Belarusian Orthodox Church.
